When it got decimated by injuries the wheels came off mark Davies Muamba and holden we haven’t seen the likes of since
June 23, 20206 yr Just listening to Phil Neville summarising Leicester v Brighton on the telly. I wonder if he considered throwing his hat in the ring. Wouldn't be my choice but it's not me deciding.

June 23, 20206 yr Megson was a bellend with many flaws but he left coyle with a fantastic side. Coyle had bad luck in losing Muamba and Holden to career ending injuries. But his inability to stop the rot was what showed him up as the shit manager he is.

When Barrow took temp charge of Wrexham before following Ricketts to Shrewsbury, his assistant was Jussi. So its nailed on he'll back here if Ricketts comes!

What were they doing in the bottom 3 then when Megson was sacked.This "fantastic" side had 2 easy Xmas matches against Burnley and Hull to get them out of the bottom 3 but they could only draw them both.They weren't a fantastic side, they were bottom 6 material and Meggo had them 3rd bottom half way through the season

He was equally as energetic and constantly breaking up play for 90 minutes, allowing Holden more freedom. Those two were perhaps the best centre midfield partnership I’ve ever seen in a white shirt up until the Evans tackle. Their combined energy papered over Coyle’s complete lack of expertise for a long time. That’s why it was absolutely baffling that Coyle neglected Muamba once Holden got injured.

Their chairman's comments on BBC just now are interesting, part of it makes you think yeah no doubt Evatt is off here then the compo gets brought up and itll all need paying up front no installments and it might be enough to see us off.
June 23, 20206 yr We’ll crowdfund it - 5000 fans at £50 each and leaves a few quid for his back room staff and a freebie signing
